Answer:

$1136.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for exponential growth is f(x) = a(1 + r)^x where a is the initial value, r is the growth rate, and x is the number of time intervals.

We know that Mr. Paris starts with an $1800 initial value, so we can substitute that into the equation:

f(x)=1800(1 + r)^x

We also know the time intervals is 6 months. So that can be substituted as well:

f(x)=1800(1 + r)^6

They told you that the growth rate is 8.5%, which is 0.085 of 1.

f(x)=1800(1 + 0.085)^6

Add the 2 values in the parentheses and you get 1.085

f(x)=1800(1.085)^6

Now solve.

Order of operations requires you to raise 1.085 to the 6th power before multiplying by 1800. So then you have this:

1800(1.63146751) = 2936.64152. That rounds to 2936.60

So $2936.60 is the total amount of money in the bank account, but were looking for the interest earned, which is the difference between the end value and the initial value.

$2936.60 - $1800 = $1136.60

What does a 3 in front of a square root mean?
zlopas [31]
The 3 goes with the square root you don’t need to multiply or anything like that. If you need to simply for example 3 square root of 20 which is when 3 is outside the square root sign. The 20 will be separated with 4*5 in the square root and then you will square root the 4 leaving the 5 in and bringing 2 out. Now you can’t just bring it out and forget about the 3 outside you need to multiply that 2 and 3 and you get 6! So you final answer is 6 square root 5. Hope this helps reply if you have a question!
